It's definitely the height of something ( hubris? parochialism? whatever... ) when an American sports league plays for what they proudly declare to be a 'World Championship' — but with one exception, no team from anywhere in the world outside of the USA is permitted to participate.hays1 Go, Blue J...
That's one of the first correct statements I think he has ever made. No, not the one about how 'They owe him', but the following line about how 'They owe US ' . But instead of extorting a payout, I personally would settle for a Congress and a government that starts doing what they were founded or e...
Which of course casts the military (or the DEA, or ICE, or whoever is carrying out these strikes against the boats) in the role(s) of apprehending officer, judge, jury, and executioner all in one. -"BB"-
I think the Blue Jays just proved that every time Trump has a baby tantrum and spanks Canada, Canada punishes US on the sports ball (or puck) playing field (or ice). Go Canada! Well, the winner is crowned World Champion, so shouldn't the only team that is based in a part of the world outside the US...
See the first sentence of the Appeals Court decision that Sue U included in the OP: Appellant, Marshall Tauber, appeals as of right the order entered by Oakland Circuit Court Judge Yasmine I. Poles that held him in criminal contempt and required him to . . . Sorry. You'll have to make an effort. As...
"Parliamentary operations"? Were they introducing bills? Engaging in debate? Approving a budget? If they are, they're several orders of magnitude ahead of the Trump administration and the rest of his MAGA Mafia. https://www.picgifs.com/emoticons/smileys-and-emoticons/cycling/smileys-cycling-022395....
Do American military ships now carry the Jolly Roger in their flag lockers? snailgate Only the USS Kidd (DDG-100), an Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyer — although the USS Jimmy Carter (SSN-23) has also flown the skull and crossbones on at least one occasion. https://www.picgifs.com/emoti...
In an issue of The Christian Century magazine, dated Feb 5, 1936, James Waterman Wise, Jr. wrote, If fascism comes, it will not be identified with any “shirt” movement, nor with an “insignia,” but it will probably be “wrapped up in the American flag and heralded as a plea for liberty and preservatio...
When I was a little kid in school, I was constantly being told that "in America, anyone can grow up to become President." Now, after being 'blessed' (?) with two terms of Donald Trump. I think that statement has been proven beyond the shadow of a doubt. https://www.picgifs.com/emoticons/smileys-and-...
Obama? Even W and Nixon will be more beloved than Trump. And I would bet historians will have more respect for Buchnan and Andrew Johnson. Trump is an even bigger political joke than Dan Quayle was during his time as Veep — and believe you me, that's saying something. https://www.picgifs.com/emotic...
https://i.imgur.com/rfg0laF.jpeg This also made the rounds back in 2018, and it isn't completely, 100% true — apparently Donald never said these exact words with regard to the 2013 shutdown under Obama. But according to a Politifact article from 2018 , he DID say "If you say who gets fired, it alw...
Yes, he was found guilty by a jury, but it looks like they wanted to convict Trump of something, so they found something and turned it into a felony. You could do that to anybody. Look hard enough, and you’ll find that almost everyone has committed a misdemeanor at some point, especially businessme...
I think we can blame Ugandan dictator/megalomanic Idi (short for 'Idiot'?) Amin — who declared himself the King of Scotland in the 1970s — for that ersatz theory of black Scotsmen. -"BB"-
I'm with BSG on this one. I'm not sure it much matters whether Trump's ear scratch was caused by a passing bullet, a bit of shrapnel or a collision with his SS detail. I assume everything he says is a lie anyway unless there is objective proof otherwise. I'm just surprised he's not demanding a Meda...
The George Bush precedent is quite simple. It works like this: if you say something and it later turns out you were wrong, then you are a liar. No exceptions. So no one — including, or maybe ESPECIALLY yourself — is allowed to make an honest mistake or a differing opinion based on the available (an...
And today I see they've announced that the nabobs at Disney are raising prices across the board for their streaming services — Disney +, Disney + Premium, Hulu, ESPN, and the various bundles of these. Then next week be ready for them to jack up the prices at the the Happiest Expensivre-est Place o...
